I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go; I like things as they are—just so. I gotta job I kin hold for life. I gotta home and a darned good wife; Maybe I'm rusty, maybe I'm slow But I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. Gotta bit of money, just a small amount Tucked away in a bank account; Rollin' stones don't get no moss, Not, at least, that I've run across; Guys that's restless, let 'em pack an' blow, I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. I like things just the way they are; I got two babies an' a flivver car, That'll take us any place we please But I don't hanker for no seven seas. I wanna watch my youngsters grow, I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. I'll get stuffy, and I'll get fat? That's my worry, lemme tell you that. You like travel, go ahead and hike, Staying home is the thing I like. Them's my feelings, do you get me, bo? I do' wanna wander, I do' wanna go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A LADY SINGING by ISAAC ROSENBERG BE TRUE [THYSELF] by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR THE ROMANCE OF THE SWAN'S NEST by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING MY YOUTH by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES AN AUGUST MIDNIGHT by THOMAS HARDY AT MAGNOLIA CEMETERY by HENRY TIMROD IN BATTLE by ABUL HASAN OF BADAJOZ |
